This rare form of
Jiuzhaigou was collected as a seedling from Jiuzhaigou Park in northern
Sichuan China by a Swiss bamboo collector and later imported to the United
States from Europe. It is similar to Jiuzhaigou I, but reported to be the
tallest form, up to 15 feet.
It acquires a beautiful cherry red coloration in the spring and fall.
We have several available for sale but haven't grown it in the ground long
enough to determine the height and potential in the Pacific Northwest. It is
equally hardy as other Jiuzhaigou and safe from flowering for a very long
time. It has great potential, especially if it turns out to be taller and
more robust than the original Jiuzhaigou I.
